Cledus T. Judd Announces World Premiere For “Honeymoon” Music Video
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.”
