"Touch Me" is an original song introduced in the eighth episode of the first season of the musical TV series ''Smash'', entitled "The Coup". It is written by Ryan Tedder and Bonnie McKee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Katharine McPhee - Touch Me Lyrics )〕 In the show's universe, the song is written by Tedder, who plays himself. In the episode, because the ''Bombshell'' musical about Marilyn Monroe is having some trouble with direction, choreographer and director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport) and producer Eileen Rand (Anjelica Huston) seek a new direction for the show (without telling songwriting duo Tom Levitt (Christian Borle) and Julia Houston (Debra Messing) first) and Derek enlists Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) to help him. He has gotten Tedder to write a song that shows a more contemporary and edgy side of Marilyn Monroe, and Karen, with help from some dancers enlisted by Derek, along with Tedder and his band, performs the song in front of Tom and Julia, on a bed and wrapped in a bedsheet while dancers playing paparazzi swirl around her. The song is currently available on the cast album The Music of Smash. The song has sold 18,000 digital copies as of May 9, 2012.〔(Idol Chatter USAToday.com 05-09-2012 "Kelly Clarkson hits 3 million for 'Stronger' single" )〕 ==Production== Tedder made a cameo on the series in "The Coup" as himself and within the show gives the song to Karen to perform after Derek (Jack Davenport) asks him to and work on the Marilyn Monroe project for him.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder on Smash; Katharine Sings "Touch Me" in Episode 1×08 "The Coup" )〕 The scene, described by The Smoking Gun, is as follows: "Karen appears wrapped in a white sheet, singing and thrashing while surrounded by masked men. By the end of the song, she's completely caged in and looks a bit like a 'scared bird'".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Katherine McPhee's Sheet-Clad 'Smash' Performance )〕 The Hollywood Reporter suggested that the spot, which first aired during the Super Bowl, was deliberately seductive (e.g. with McPhee only wearing a sheet) in "an attempt to entice male viewers". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Touch Me (Smash song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
