'''''Situation Normal''''' is the second studio album by [[Snafu (band)|SNAFU]].  
[[Peter Solley]]'s fiddle lends this album a curious Country and Western tone in places, unusual for what was essentially an R&B band. But the album still contains a short version of the classic "Lock and Key" with [[Micky Moody]]'s distinctive slide guitar.<ref>[http://www.alexgitlin.com/npp/snafu.htm   Alex Gitlin's History of SNAFU]</ref>
