Anyway, on the major 7th thing, a few more tunes come to mind:
"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.

Oh. Okay. Now that you say that, I remember always thinking it was a
