What are some good Spanish interjections?

I can never find these in dictionaries and occasionally I find the odd "¡Guau!" or "¡Puaj!"online but otherwise I don´t know how to say anything like
- wow!
- yay!
- yuck!
- oh!
- oh?
- hmm.
- huh?
- phew
- jeez!
- grr.
- ummm
- argh
- whoa!
- ugh.
And also, "hey", as in "It´s George´s birthday today, hey", when it means something like "isn´t it" or "don´t you agree"

There are a few, from WordRef.com actually, because I don't know them either!
Nice question.
