"Invitation" -- the second interval is a major 7th.
There's a descending major seventh in the bridge of "Come Fly With Me" -- "rar-i-fied."
"I Thought About You" -- the first four notes outline a major 7th chord.
"I Loves You Porgy" -- the first five notes outline a major 9th chord.
The bridge of "Prelude to a Kiss" is really good for intervals -- second interval is a descending minor 6th, fourth interval is an ascending major 7th, phrase ends on a descending major 6th.
There's a great ascending major 6th in "All Of You" ("lure... of you... "), and then four bars later it turns into a major 7th ("pure... of you... ").
One of the all-time greatest leaps is in "All The Way," where the melody shoots up a minor 10th for the title lyric. (Okay, so the leap comes between phrases, not in the middle of a phrase. It still counts, in my book.)
Can't believe I can't think of a tune that opens with an ascending minor sixth -- I'm sure there are any number of Weill songs, but I'll be damned if I can think of one.
