The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse is the second album by the British comedy rock group Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

By 1968, the group's sound had expanded beyond their music hall and jazz roots, drawing inspiration from the blues and psychedelic rock movements that had grown in popularity at the time.

The chorus of "We Are Normal" features the lyric "We are normal and we want our freedom", a reference to a line from the 1963 play The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade or Marat/Sade, also quoted in "The Red Telephone", a song by the American band Love from their 1967 album Forever Changes.

The track also features the playful rhyming interjection "We are normal and we dig Bert Weedon" in which Stanshall pays fleeting tribute to one of the most influential guitarists of his day.

[6] Stylistically, the track is also a homage to the original 1963 recording "The Feast of the Mau-Mau", by one of Vivian Stanshall's favourite musical artists Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
