lawandorder100 day off challenge.
Days off for Connie are never really days off. They’re days where she can catch up on cleaning, laundry, paperwork, emails - the million little things she can’t do working all hours at Mike Cutter’s beck and call.
At least they used to be.
Because nowadays it’s not unusual for her to pulled from some task by two strong arms. The right song will be on the radio and Ed will be waltzing her around the kitchen, crooning “Duke of Earl” softly in her ear as she laughs and forgets about everything but him.
Them.
She prefers it this way.
The only reason this song is on my iPod is because it's used in one of my favourite ever tv scenes, in NYPD Blue; the sight of Dennis Franz and Jimmy Smits dueting on this is tv gold! Yet strangely not on YouTube, I don't know what's up with that. And while finding the lyrics and looking for the clip online, I found this little story that I'd not heard before, from People in 1998.
NYPD Blue's Dennis Franz saw to it that costar Jimmy Smits, who made his last appearance in the drama's Nov. 24 episode, won't easily forget his four years playing Franz's partner-in-crime-fighting. In one of their first scenes together, Smits switched the squad car radio from Franz's oldies station, and Franz promptly switched it back. "Got to be oldies, huh?" said Smits. Then "Duke of Earl" came on, and they started to sing together. "It turned out to be one of my favorite little moments of the past five years of the show," Franz says now. So he looked all over L.A. until he found a 1954 Seeburg jukebox, which he gave to Smits at his going-away party. He hid it behind a movable wall, wrapped in a big red bow. Just before moving the wall, he pressed A1. The room filled with "Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl...." Smits "stopped dead in his tracks and came over and started dancing to it," reports Franz. "He said, 'You didn't!' And I said, 'Yeah, thanks for four great years.' We hugged and we danced."
