I hope everyone is okay with all the posting I’ve been doing, nosing into the bigger, unreleased P-Funk material. 
Only recently I started to research Throbbasonic Attack (Funkadelic) (1977?). There is so little discussion online about it, even less than Upsouth or The C Conspiracy In The Last Time Zone. Now, I only just started researching it recently, but encountered some very interesting audio, and just had to post it here.
To start, user Cope_Freeland, on SteveHoffman tv claims Throbbasonic Attack was recorded.
Funkadelic - Throbbasonic Attack (1977). This became One Nation Under A Groove but it was recorded before Junie Morrison joined. Since it was recut and Junie is largely reponsible for the One Nation Album I’d assume that this is significantly different.
With a simple online search with keyword “Throbbasonic Attack”, I found Soundcloud user “Funk Kenn” uploaded two clips of interest. I’m not sure if they are real, but after transcribing them, I think they’re legit. One of them is even labeled “1979” (it must be wrong, right?). But who knows, someone could have just sung over an instrumental they got ahold of. Anyways, there might be more interesting stuff there, but I haven’t gone over it yet. (This post has an interesting picture…)
Clip 1:
This shorter clip sounds like some sort of introduction or chorus.
Lyrics:
U-R-US and WE-R-U so give up the funk and we [do?] too. U-R-US and WE-R-U so give up the funk and get some too. (x2)
Throbba. Throbba. Throbbasonic Attack. (x2)

Clip 2:
The second clip is a longer, two-minute passage. Interestingly, it sounds like it is over the instrumental that would become Bootsy’s “Shejam (Almost Bootsy Show)” released on This Boot Is Made for Fonk-N (1979).
That would fit neatly in the timeline, and jives with the P-Funk recycling tradition.
Lyrics:
- Mid-Range Voice (M)
- High-Range (Male) (H): Rooney? (Junie? Although, that might contradict the timeline.) Maybe one George’s or someone else’s kids?
- Recorder’s Voice (R): It sounds like there is someone occasionally singings overtop/along with the recording. Maybe K-Mac[k]?
- Low-Range Raspy (L): sounds like George

Regarding the “Earl Lee McFunken” in the descriptions, maybe they are related to Eric McFadden? Anybody know? I’m a younger funkateer (in both senses), so I’m not well-versed enough to venture a guess.
With the “Motor-Booty” and “love-seat” lyrics, I can’t help but wonder if it is related to the “Nosey Nose” track in leaked Mammoth Sessions from 1999, as it has someone using “big-butt-bombs”. I’d assume it is a considerably changed track, as it has a rapper “Lady Abstract” rapping on one part about a nose growing out a window. Here’s a short transcribed passage:
Again, again, again and again. [On plan?] he goes to select that [mover?] while [our?], funk slowly grooves into the mix, some [on?] it. He throws motor, motor-boppin’ Motor-Booty, the butt-bomb, blows, and then, at that moment, [that waste of dime/time?], funk, funk forever, forever froze.
