If you mean are there melodies that feature perfect 11ths and major 13ths? No. Those usually cannot be sung accurately and don't appear in many memorable melodies.

Hearing these intervals takes practice. There is no other shortcut.

I think that Circles by Joe Satriani starts with an 9th chord. It sounds like root, just fifth and major ninth to me.
