Depends on what you want to consider as "original."
According to Wikipedia...
The initial performance of it was in 1944, sung at a housewarming party by Frank Loesser (who wrote the song for the occasion) and his wife Lynn Garland.
Loesser sold the song to MGM where it was used in the 1949 film Neptune's Daughter where it was sung by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalbán, Betty Garrett and Red Skelton.
However, the movie wasn't released until June of '49, and there were multiple other recordings of the song that same year. These are the ones that Wiki lists with recording dates, but no release date.
Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark with Ted Dale and his orchestra; recorded on March 17
Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer with Paul Weston and his orchestra; recorded on March 18
Don Cornell and Laura Leslie with Sammy Kaye and his orchestra; recorded on April 12
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan with the Tympany Five; recorded on April 28

Pretty sure that song was cancelled due to #metoo and the patriarchy, or some stupid shite.
According to the this stupid article that talks about the controversy, the original was:

quote:
The song began life as a "party piece" for high society soirees of the 1940s. Guys And Dolls composer Frank Loesser wrote the song in 1944 to perform with his wife Lynn Garland at their housewarming party in New York. Garland reflected that the song was their "ticket to caviar and truffles. We became instant parlor room stars. We got invited to all the best parties for years..." Loesser subsequently sold the song to MGM in 1949 for use in the romantic comedy Neptune's Daughter, a move that infuriated Garland. The song went on to win the 1949 Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Thanks. For some reason that wiki article didn’t come up in my google search. I was looking for the movie.
