"Hanky Panky" is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was the second and final single release from her soundtrack album I'm Breathless (Music from and Inspired by the film Dick Tracy) on June 30, 1990 by Sire Records. The song caused some controversy because of its innuendo and racy lyrics. It became a top-ten hit in Australia, Ireland, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States, while peaking within the top 20 in other nations. Madonna has performed the song in two of her tours. First on the 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour, and 14 years later on 2004's Re-Invention World Tour. The song was performed on the season 3 finale of Ally McBeal entitled "The Musical, Almost".
[edit] Chart performance
"Hanky Panky" entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart at #40, the week of June 30, 1990, while "Vogue" was slowly descending from the chart. The single eventually peaked at number 10, and was certified Gold by the RIAA on September 19, 1990. This song was the first Madonna single since "Like a Virgin" not to chart in the French official singles chart, this being due in part to the fact that very few copies of the single under its vinyl format were available in stores. Elsewhere, it was more successful, reaching the top ten in Australia, Ireland, Italy, and South Africa, and topping the charts in Finland. In the United Kingdom it reached number two, selling 205,733 copies to date. According to The Official Charts Company, the song has sold 210,000 copies there.[2]
