Norman Normal

About Norman Normal

Norman Normal is a 1968 animated cartoon short, produced by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation. It was produced as a collaboration between musician Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul and Mary fame) and the studio's animation department. Rather than being released as part of the Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies series, it was released as a one-time "Cartoon Special."The short has been released on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6. The theme song, "Norman Normal", was previously featured on Peter, Paul and Mary's album The Peter, Paul and Mary Album (released in 1966). The title character was initially designed by pop artist Milton Glaser, and then refined by animator Volus Jones to create a character that would be easier to animate. Further cartoons starring Norman were envisaged by Stookey, although the studio's closure the following year prevented these plans coming to fruition. more »

There's someone, you've got to meet him
An' you see him every day,
His face will look familiar,
But in a most unusual way.

He's Norman Normal, I said he's Norman Normal,
You know he's Norman Normal, He looks a lot like you.

Every party that Norman goes to
You've been there before,
He's got some funny things he might have said
That he forgets until they close the door.

He's Norman Normal, I said he's Norman Normal,
You know he's Norman Normal, He acts a lot like you.

He's a well respected man
He's had his problems but he's left them well behind
The only things he can't handle
Are the hang-ups on his mind.

He's Norman Normal, I said he's Norman Normal,
You know he's Norman Normal, He looks a lot like you.

He looks a lot like Jimmy, looks a lot like Billy,
Looks a lot like Frankie, looks a lot like Timmy,

Peter, Paul and Mary

Peter, Paul and Mary were a US folk-singing trio whose nearly 50-year career began with their rise to become a paradigm for 1960s folk music. The trio was composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. After the death of Mary Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names. more »
