Madonna – Hanky Panky (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1990

BTG BARBIE Rewind: Bubblegum Pop Inspired by BARBIE!

“Hanky Panky” is a song by American singer Madonna from her soundtrack album I’m Breathless. It was released on June 12, 1990, by Sire Records as the album’s second and final single. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the song was developed from a line in the parent film, Dick Tracy, talking about a woman who enjoys being spanked by her partner. Performed in a playful, “tongue-in-cheek” style, “Hanky Panky” is a jazz and swing song, keeping with the film’s general theme of the 1920s and 1930s, with a changing bassline and minor to major key-shift in the chorus. It caused some controversy in Ireland because of its innuendo and racy lyrics, with women’s groups deeming them as harmful; Madonna later clarified that the lyrics were intended as a joke.

The song garnered positive response from music critics, many of them highlighting its lyrical content. It was a commercial success, becoming a top-ten hit in many countries including Australia, Ireland, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States while topping the chart in Finland. Madonna has performed the song on two of her concert tours: Blond Ambition (1990) and Re-Invention (2004). The song has been covered by several tribute acts and was also performed on the television series Ally McBeal (1997).

In 1990, Madonna starred in the film Dick Tracy as Breathless Mahoney—a new role introduced for her—with Warren Beatty, her boyfriend at the time, playing the titular character. After the shooting for Dick Tracy was over, Madonna started working on the soundtrack. She had begun recording three songs written by Stephen Sondheim for the film—”Sooner or Later”, “More” and “What Can You Lose”—which would be part of the album, but also had to write and develop new songs comparable in style to her previous releases. She produced the entire album, including the Sondheim songs. “I want people to think of me as a musical comedy actress. That’s what this album is about for me. It’s a stretch. Not just pop music, but songs that have a different feel to them, a theatrical feel”, she said at the time.

Madonna recruited producer Patrick Leonard and engineer Bill Bottrell to help her with the project. She and Leonard toiled to create music that would fit the style and production of the film, set in the days of the Untouchables law enforcement. “Hanky Panky” was written and produced by Madonna and Leonard and was released as the second and final single from I’m Breathless on June 12, 1990. The cassette and the 7-inch versions had “More”, another song from the album as its B-side, while the 12-inch releases had two remixes of the song by Kevin Gilbert. Cover photograph for the single was done by Patrick Demarchelier with Jeri Heiden designing the sleeves.

As a BONUS TRACK, I have included the Razormaid Remix Service …Maid! How Slow Can You Go? #2 Digital Mix of “Now I’m Following You” a song that was also part of the I’m Breathless Soundtrack album. The song was not released as a single but an acetate promo 12″ single does exist.
