THE LAST WORD: While the current “Bar-B-Q Mitzvah” tour co-headliner the Butthole Surfers sent radio stations an edited version of its recent “Independent Worm Saloon” CD with only the “clean” songs on it, “Lollapalooza ‘93” act Babes in Toyland has taken an opposite tack.

The Minneapolis trio has released an EP, “Painkillers,” which concludes with “Fontanellette,” a 34-minute track containing an obscenity-laced live performance of all the songs from last year’s “Fontanelle” album.

A sticker on the front of the CD warns radio stations, “Trust us. You don’t want FCC agents storming your station in riot gear, screaming ‘Get on the floor now, subversive intellectual!’ Repeat this and remember: ‘I will not play “Fontanellette” on the air. Ix-nay on Track 6. “Fontanellette” on my playlist is a Bozo-no-no.’ . . . Again.”
