Drake's latest track has inspired numerous Internet memes, imitations and parodies.

And Mike Tyson was the latest star to give his rendition of song Hotline Bling on Monday night's Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

After being shown a Drake-themed meme featuring himself, the 49-year-old former heavyweight champ decided to bring it to life with some questionable lyrics thrown in.

Fallon presented the retired sportsman with the viral Instagram on a placard.

The caption read 'You uthed to call me on the thell phone...' placed over an old image of Tyson talking on a mobile phone.

While it poked fun at his lisp, Tyson took the meme - which was shared by one of the show's musicians, Quest Love - in good humour.

Fallon handed The Hangover star a mic and he happily started strutting and grinding to the rhythm of the band while singing the Hotline Bling lyrics - or rather his version of the lyrics.

'You uthed to call me on the thell phone... you want to be alone with me...' he sang with gusto before  another line which was incomprehensible as the comedian signaled to cut to break.

Tyson is currently promoting season two of his Adult Swim show Mike Tyson Mysteries.

And the TV star was overcome with excitement when the host mentioned the animated series.

'Mike Tyson Mysteries second season!' Tyson yelled and started punching the air rapid fire as Fallon scuttled toward the back of the stage in fear.

The host finally returned to his seat and said 'It's kinda like Scooby-doo meets Mr. T' to which Tyson awkwardly disagreed saying 'No it's not, me and Mr. T are different'.

Later in the show Voice judges Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton gave Hotline Bling a go during a game of Spin the Microphone with their NBC co-stars Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams.

'If you don't know the song at all, you just gotta wing it. Sound good?' Fallon told his contestants.

Before the flirty duo's attempt, Stefani modestly said 'I don't know it good...but...' before singing all of the lyrics perfectly.

Country star Shelton, 39, meanwhile intermittently spit 'Bling...bling' throughout the rendition.

In response to his effort, Stefani - who wore a black cut-out pencil dress - exclaimed 'Cowboy!' at the end of the round
