Well, Andy Kim was on Breakfast Television in Toronto this morning and was 
asked about "Sugar Sugar"....he claims that the lead vocal was a blend of 
his rough ghost vocal and Ron Dante's. So the case remains quite open.

He performed with a very young band and did the song plus the new radio 
single he co-wrote with Ed Robertson of The Barenaked Ladies.
