Video to Feature Nadya Suleman, and Premiere On CMT Pure March 25th
The world premiere of the buzzed about “Honeymoon” music video by parody singer-songwriter Cledus T. Judd is set to debut on March 25 on CMT Pure and CMT.com. The new video, produced and directed by country singer/actress Laura Bell Bundy and featuring guest appearances by Nadya “Octomom” Suleman and comedian Two-Foot Fred, will run in rotation with other Cledus classic videos every hour for 25 hours. This premiere also marks the first music/comedy feature on CMT’s new artist platform which provides fans a central place to connect with artists they love! See all of Cledus’ videos at Cledustjudd.cmt.com.
“Honeymoon,” the second release and music video from his tenth studio album, Pardoyziac!!, is a parody of Little Big Town’s No. 1 hit song “Pontoon.” The video stars Suleman as Cledus’ bride in his version of a redneck wedding and “Dollywood” honeymoon. “It was so cool working with Nadya Suleman!” said Cledus. “I didn’t know what to expect when she signed on but she was awesome! Some paparazzi asked me if we were romantically linked. I politely told the guy, ‘I can hardly pay my child support on the one I got much less 14 other little ones!’ I think that shut him up. Although she does have smokin’ hot lips! Probably be worth it.”
In 1995, Cledus released his debut album, Cledus T. Judd: No Relation, kicking off a career that spans nine studio albums and boasts over two million records sold. His first video, “If Shania Was Mine” (his take on Shania Twain’s “Any Man of Mine”), won CMT’s 1996 Independent Video Of the Year award, launching his reputation as a must-see video star. 1996’s I Stoled This Record was certified gold; 1998’s Did I Shave My Back For This? hit the Top 20 on the country album charts, and he cracked the country singles chart for the first time in 2000 with “My Cellmate Thinks I’m Sexy.”
His albums and videos have featured guest performances by everyone from Buck Owens to Brad Paisley, and he’s thrilled crowds as an opener and emcee for acts like Brooks & Dunn, the Dixie Chicks, and Toby Keith. Cledus was recently nominated for a 2012 Academy of Country Music Award as Major Market Personality for his work on the morning airwaves at WQYK in Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida, alongside partners Dave McKay and Veronica. Fans can currently hear him on WTCR’s “Cledus T. Party” in Huntington, W.V., where he hosts the weekday morning show.
