Overlaying List...Plots with other Plots?

What's the smoothest way to draw a ListPlot (or its friends, 
ListLogPlot, ListLogLogPlot, etc.) with another plot of just a normal 
function (which is actually a curve fit to the data) on top of the ListPlot?

I know that I can just do two plots (which are just Graphics objects 
anyway) and then show them simultaneously with show, but since it's a 
ListPlot, but since I'm dealing with an arbitrary set of data I don't 
know what the bounds of the plot will be, so I don't see how to easily 
choose the proper limits for the second Plot to Show together.

I presume there must be a standard way of doing this since it's a pretty 
common operation; what's the "proper" way to do it?

Thanks.
