"Hanky Panky" was recorded within the three weeks time taken for the whole project.  Personnel working on the song included Leonard on  keyboards ,  Jeff Porcaro  on  drums ,  Guy Pratt  on  bass  and Donna De Lory ,  Niki Haris  and  N'Dea Davenport  on background vocals.   Lyrically, the song deals with sadomasochistic  themes and is centered around a girl who celebrates the pleasures of a " good spanking ".  It is performed in an almost comical style, and stemmed from a line in the film, where Breathless says to Tracy, "You don't know whether to hit me or kiss me".
