Is the mechanical, kind of dehumanized version of "Video Killed the Radio Star" the original?

Question

The song by the Buggles, "Video Killed the Radio Star" has been covered many times. I was just wondering which was the original. The version I'm talking about has two different voices: a guy and a girl.

The voices alternate back and forth between the guy and girl voices within each line of the song.

Answer 1

Yeah. The one with all the synth and the female chorus? That's the Buggle's original.
