For some months like February (unusual), October (Halloween), or December (New Year's Eve) I remember them.

But for the other months I sing the song. Takes about ten seconds, required monthly at most. I think this is pretty common.

Interesting.

I personally just remember the cutoff point (7/8), and before that odd months have 31, after it even months have 31 days. It eventually became "muscle" memory.
