Normaal is a rock band from the Netherlands, more specifically from the Achterhoek region, who sung in Achterhooks, a local variety of the Low Saxon language group. Arts student Bennie Jolink started the band in 1975 as a reaction to disco and glamrock, in addition to the overall "Dutch snobbery" towards people from the Low Saxon-speaking regions, and use of the English language by many other Dutch artists.
"Normaal" meaning "normal", suggesting the same: "act normally". The band has since gained national fame, and have had more top 40 hits in the Dutch chart than any other Dutch band.

The group was founded by lead singer Bennie Jolink (Buizen Beernd) and drummer Jan Manschot (Brekken Jan Schampschot) and had a breakthrough in 1977 with the hit 'Oerend Hard'. Singing in the local dialect (the Achterhoeks) became the trademark of the group.
The single 'Pien In De Kop' reached no. 24 in the Dutch Top 40 in March 1986.
