4/4 time walks, hup two three four. The Caisson Song, and Marines' Hymn.
3/4 time waltzes, or ice-skates. Roller skates too. Also one heckuva lotta country music about cheatin' hearts, broke country singers, and pickup trucks. You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille.
6/8 time walks/marches with a swing and a swagger. It helps to be in a kilt, and strutting hard enough to make your horsehair sporran go "swingity swingity," which is the 1 2 3, 4 5 6 beat of 6/8. A lot of jigs are also in 6/8.
5/4 is the Mission Impossible theme. True story.
9/8 is slip-jig, which is a jig time takes half again as long to come round to the beginning of the cycle as a 6/8. I think it's also the meter for the baritone solo in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
