Trombipulation is a 1980 album by the funk band Parliament (see 1980 in music). It was released by Casablanca Records. It was the last album of original material produced by the group. Unlike previous Parliament albums, George Clinton did not serve as sole producer of the album; other P-Funk figures assisted in producing individual tracks. Bassist Bootsy Collins emerged as the principle musician on this album, playing virtually all of the instruments on a number of tracks.
