I discovered Queen on Tv, a channel called TMF played the video of Bohemian Rhapsody.
The persons who introduced me to Queen were my parents, they had a cd of Queen wich I "borrowed" but never gave it back hahaha.
And also the first song I heard was Bohemian Rhapsody.

I think the very first song I heard was Killer Queen. I thought it was such a cool sound and I really liked it, but it was when NATO came out and I heard BoRhap for the first time that I was totally hooked. I had to find out everything about that new band and get their three previous albums. I learned all the words to all the songs and just got sucked into the Queen machine! So I guess Queen got me into Queen around 1974.

The first song I've ever heard by Queen was Good old-fashioned lover boy... An Italian radio put it on and I remember I got stunned...
It was an old friend of mine who borrowed me some records... Thank you Simo, you don't know you changed my life forever...
... Too much time ago... **SIGH**

1. By hearing the news of Freddie's death in 1991 and by questioning my mum afterwards and stealing her Queen tapes.
2. My mum.
3. I have no idea, I think Champions because it was played at football games and other sport event all the time. Only later I realised it was Queen. I remember the first Queen video I ever saw though. It was Radio Gaga
1. I got bored with all the music I was listening to, and I asked my mom for some newer music, and she pointed me towards Queen.
2. My mom.
3. Don't Try Suicide, strangely enough. I didn't even hear Bohemian Rhapsody for another few weeks. :)

-How did I discover Queen? - "Another One Bites The Dust" on the radio in 1980.
-Who was the one (if any)who got me involved with Queen for the first time? - Perhaps my father, who explained what some of the lyrics were, including the title.
-Which was the first song I ever heard? - I've already answered that for Queen. But hmm.. the very first song I ever heard... now that's a poser. Probably something by Elvis since my mom was crazy about him.
Incidently, my mom dated a guy named David Houston before he became a (semi) famous singer who apparently opened for Elvis once. What has this got to do with anything? I don't know.

Went to see Mott The Hoople in Stoke in November '73 came away a fan of the support band and been a Queen fan ever since!
Can't remember what they opened with and that would have been the first song I heard but the first studio track I heard was Keep Yourself Alive!

Killer Queen, on Dutch tv show "Toppop", 1974. Me being 5 years old, I did not have any clue who or what they were all I knew was I was completely hyponotized. My cousin, 6 years older than me, then turned out to have all the LP's. All 3 of them. And that's how it all started :)
