I added some of my own, marked with a *.
Perhaps they help, maybe not...

*No real piece or song I can think of has the tritone, but I think of
Holst's "Mars" when hearing the TT.
*Or the third and seventh of a Mm seventh chord.

*Quite a few of John Williams's compositions have the P5: Jurassic Park,
E.T., Superman, Star Wars...

*Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

*The NBC theme in a minor key?

*P8 - Remember Shouryu, not everyone can hear P8's without some song to
think of!!! "Some-Where Over the Rainbow!"
