Mnemonics is totally how it works for me. I can hear songs in my head in tune. Through learning to play guitar, I've memorized songs for each note, by the first chord of each song.
A: Jessica, Allman Brothers
A#: In Bloom, Nirvana
B: Out on the Weekend, Neil Young
C: Like a Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan
C#: Say it Aint So, Weezer
D: Moonage Daydream, David Bowie
D#: Woman, John Lennon
E: Melissa, Allman Brothers
F: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana
F#: Foxy Lady, Jimi Hendrix
G: Santa Monica, Everclear
G#: Brain Stew, Greenday
The only part I'm not completely convinced is a learned skill is being able to internalize the song in the first place.
Intervals are the same.

Major 2nd: Mary had a Little Lamb
