Biography

country music's answer to "Weird Al" Yankovic, Cledus T. Judd had a similar approach to song parody, recording backing tracks that were as similar as possible to the original versions. Like yankovic, he also recorded some original material, but parodies of recent country hits were his bread and butter; also like yankovic, a Judd parody came to be regarded as a badge of honor by many of the artists he reworked. Judd made his bow in 1995 with the Razor & Tie album Cledus T. Judd (No Relation), a billing that made clear his lack of connection to Wynonna Judd and Naomi. His breakthrough set was the follow-up, 1996's I Stoled This Record, which established his long-running preoccupation with Shania Twain -- not only did he transform her "If You're Not in It for Love (I'm Outta Here)" into "I'm Not in Here for Love (Just Yer Beer)," he also recorded the original "If Shania Was Mine" and had her guest (along with Joe Diffie) on "(She's Got a Butt) Bigger Than the Beatles." Did I Shave My Back For This?, the title cut a parody of Deana Carter, followed in 1998, also featuring redone material from Brooks & Dunn and Tracy Lawrence, among others. 1999's Juddmental saw him branching out into pop with a Ricky Martin parody as well as a Garth Brooks/Garth Brooks send-up and another ode to TWAIN, "Shania I'm Broke."

    Lyrics
    Hi ho Silver, away!
    After my show thought I'd have a little fun
    Hopped on a horse Lord he sure could run
    Well I got a butt kicking when the police finally caught me
    Give me back my horse

    Lyrics
    Yeah, I was always the lazy one, a Southern Californian
    But I've got some kinfolk on the Mason-Dixon line
    So this summer just for fun, hopped in my DeLorean
    And headed for my uncle's farm for a short time
    I thought that I would be huntin' and fishin'

    But now there is a few things I need you to do while I'm gone"

    Lyrics
    Be very very quiet, we are huntin' somethin'
    Me and Harold Muffert were outdoors men
    Set in our backwoods ways
    Both members of the huntin' club
    Both active in the NRA

    Lyrics
    June, wake up, June
    The tree's on fire, June, oh no
    Love is a Christmas tree
    But don't think any old tree is safe
    Some have a long expire
