¡Ay, caramba!

Excuse us for a moment while we compose ourselves after getting our first glimpse of Ricky Martin's upcoming guest appearance on Glee. Seriously, do any of you have a fan we can borrow?

Martin and the cast, including Naya Rivera and Chris Colfer, preview the singer's appearance on the show in this new behind-the-scenes video Fox just released. Spoiler alert: Martin speaks Spanish in it. Prepare to swoon!

So how will we meet Martin's character, Spanish teacher David Martinez, the man performing LMFAO's hit "Sexy and I Know It"?!

In a totally awesome way, says the man himself: "This is how I met the glee club: 'Hi, nice to meet you. I'm sexy and I know it and let's dance!'" Martin says with a laugh.

Hey, it works for us! "It's one of my favorite moments in my career," Martin reveals of performing the number with the Glee kids. Aw!

"Ricky Martin has what we like to call 'duende,'" Rivera teases. "You'll learn the meaning of that in this episode." If duende means the ability to shake your hips like it's nobody's business, then yes, Martin definitely has that!

So how did everyone on set react to having the "She Bangs" singer on set? "In my three years on Glee, I have never seen a guest star walk onto set and literally everyone is just melting," Colfer says.

Martin's episode of Glee airs this Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 8 p.m. on Fox.

How are excited are you to see Martin on Glee? Do you think he's the show's sexiest guest star ever? Sound off in the comments!
