Tender - Blur
The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Oh and speaking of Juno - the Sonic Youth one. Can't remember what it's called. I think it's a cover of The Carpenters but it's substantially better.

Nick Drake - Northern Sky

(It is debatable which is the best song to make love to: It's either Northern Sky or the William Tell Overture. Depending on your mood.)
