Songs of the movie, what are they?


I've seen other people asking for songs in specific scenes so I thought I'd start a new thread for all of these.

I have a request: What is the song playing after Cher and Bob Hoskin's character first have sex? It has that type of sound in "Tears of a clown" but that's not it. Grr...I've heard it so many times on the oldies radio but I don't know the name.


Edit: DoH! Now I found this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100140/soundtrack
