Dierks Bentley had the time of his life on the video shoot for his hit, “5-1-5-0.” The clip was shot just outside Savannah, Georgia in a mud-bogging pit, and while it wasn’t exactly a clean time, Dierks was able to “multi-task” during the making of the video. “I’m usually on the road and I have a truck and I have a four-wheeler and I don’t get to use it that often, so [it was a] chance to put the truck on the back of the bus and take it down there and just hang out with these people all day long and play music,” says the singer. “At the end I, you know, wanted to give my truck a shot at going through this big mud pit…they said I couldn’t do it and I gave it a shot, but halfway through I got stuck, so they had to come in and tow me out.”
Check out the behind-the-scenes clip of the video, as well as the official music video in its entirety below.

Dierks (5150 video) OC: …in the mud. :44
“The song’s about — 5-1-5-0 — as you know by now, hopefully, is the police code for a crazy person. If you watch some of these mud-bogging things in real life or on YouTube, it’s just these people are having the time of their lives. So, we down and checked one out in Georgia just outside Savannah. For me, it’s just a good way to multitask because I’m usually on the road and I have a truck and I have a four-wheeler and I don’t get to use it that often, so the chance to put the truck on the back of its bus and take it down there and just hang out with these people all day long and play music. It was the most fun video shoot I’ve ever done. It didn’t even feel like we were even doing a video shoot. I mean they were singing along as loud as they could. It’s definitely the most fun shoot we’ve ever done. And at the end I, you know, wanted to give my truck a shot at going through this big mud pit…they said I couldn’t do it and I gave it a shot, but halfway through I got stuck, so they had to come in and tow me out. While they were towing me out, we jumped in the mud.”
