Al was there. Al dated Aimee Mann (and says they still have a friendly relationship). Al says the song is about them. Aimee hasn’t given any alternate version, and I don’t think there’s any reason for Al to make this up (and Wiederhorn did do a fair amount of attempting to cross check and verify a bunch of Al’s babblings as well). So, I’m not sure how much more insight you’re expecting to get from a bunch of fanboys on the interwebs . . . but maybe you’d like to pose the question to an Aimee Mann page as well.
The truth is THAT SONG RULES!!!
gunner the song was pretty cool in the days…

Aimee Mann wrote “No More Crying” about Al, not “Voices Carry.” She says as much [url “http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1985-11-22/features/8502220458_1_aimee-mann-til-tape”]here.
Both Aimee and 'Til Tuesday’s producer say that “Voices Carry” was originally addressed to another woman, but it was changed at the behest of the record company (see that previous link and [url “http://web.archive.org/web/20080607133330/http://www.stereosociety.com/voicescarry.html”]this one

The problem with that is that no gnews is good gnews with Gary Gnu.
The song is about one partner in a relationship being embarrassed by the other. It makes way more sense if it’s about lesbian couple.
I mean, really, do you see Al Jourgensen in those lyrics?

It sounds she’s not only embarrassed by him but doesn’t want him, and that Al is a liar…and she’s happy he’s gone. LOL
I like to imagine it’s about me and Gerda. But I’m just a big sentimental emo guy like that.

Great Space Coaster is one of those shows where even as a kid I remember thinking, “Wow, this is pretty bad.” It didn’t at all deter me from watching it, though. If you really feel like torturing yourself, try finding an old episode somewhere and see if you can make it through NOW.
Sort of related . . . do you remember the horror that was SLIM GOODBODY?

Al should do a thrashmetal cover of this and then let Erie Load RemiXXX it.
