Analyse de la chanson par son co-auteur, Marc Shaiman (VO):

"We wanted very much to do a number in the style of Marilyn's "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" from LET'S MAKE LOVE, a very Hollywood version of Greenwich Village beatniks. The addition of Uma Thurman gave us this opportunity. We only found out Uma was a few months pregnant on the day of filming when the costume had to be altered to hide her baby bump! Only on SMASH kiddos, only on SMASH!

By the way, Uma Thurman is a great, "take no prisoners" broad, and we adored working with her."

Use your past, use your pain,
Never ever try to entertain.
Let Stanislavski be your umbrella.
 
Mumble your words.

Unless they're "STELLA!"
Use justification, improvisation,
Plus some emotional masturbation.
 
Visitor from the western coast!
 Can you dig it?
 
I dig it the most!
I'm through with Hollywood,
Its New York and the actor's studio for me.
And if any of those boys from Hollywood come a callin',
You can tell them I said this.
In history there's this doctrine called Monroe.
Which basically told the enemy where to go.
It was created to nurture and protect,
But now a new Monroe doctrine is in effect.
So go tell Mr. Zanuck to read it and weep.
Cause I'm not just here to dig, I'm here to dig deep.
From the 20th Century fox holds and released.
And just like the sun, I'm rising in the east.
I made a move from that permanent state of sadness,
To prove there's a method to my madness.
I'm waking up from the 20th Century, sleep.
Yeah I'm not just here to dig, I'm here to dig deep.
No their aint' no sin to remove your skin,
And to take a look under the hood,
where you must dispel, the outer shell,
Though you gotta admit my shell looks good.
 
Your tearing me apart!
 
I'll finally get to use my mind's interior.
And not only just my bust and my posterior
'Cause the true inner self you can't avoid
 
And we're just nuts about Sigmund Freud
 
So open up my head for a good clean sweep.
Cause I'm not just here to dig.
No, I'm not just here to dig.
Oh, I'm not just here to dig.

I'm here to dig, deep.
