Yeah by Usher is not a Minor 7th

Hi all,
My theory class sat at the piano for about the whole class period trying to figure out if the website was wrong or if our brains were just not hearing the Minor 7th. If it is the synthesized part at the beginning, we figured this out...
That part is as follows: G, D, G, D#
G, D#, G, D (and repeat many more times)
There is not a minor 7th in there! G to D is a Perfect 5th and G to D# is a Minor 6th.
And then, to make everything even better, my instructor was saying "Perfect 5th, Minor 6th, Minor 6th, Perfect 5th" to the tune and now for the rest of my life, whenever I hear this song, it will forever be sang as such. :--D
Please tell me if I am just crazy! Lol!
