ear training intervals

[ubertuba]

I've been working on some ear training stuff on the web, including the type of drills where they play two or more pitches and you name the intervals between them. The only ones that I have to think about any more are m6, m7 and M7. I was trying to think of some songs that start with those intervals to help me remember what they sound like, but I couldn't think of any. Can anyone think of some songs I would know that start with those intervals? I'm 17, so if the song is a "standard" from 40 years ago I might not know it (that's what the other website had).

Thanks!

m2 - should be easy, it's a half step
M2 - should be easy as well, it's the beginning of a scale
m3 - lullaby
M3 - beginning of triad
P4 - Mexican Hat Dance
TT - Maria
P5 - Star Wars
m6 - Entertainer
M6 - NBC Theme
m7 - Somewhere
M7 - here it leading back up to "do"[/i]

If you remember Fantasy Island from TV many years back, the first 2 notes from the theme is a major 7th. c1 to b1.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. "The Entertainer", "Somewhere", and hearing the 7th leading to 1 seemed to click for me.

I'm not in any garage/jazz bands right now, but I'll get right on that

Thanks again!
