Tharingsa

Tharingsa is a, no, the hit in Bhutan. Newborns to Angeys (grandmas) sing it with happiness, whether at a basketball court or just near the Double Turning. The familiar "Gatay taa rung" is now a national phrase. It is my favourite song, personally. I find it irresistible, so, if I hear someone singing it, I have to, too!
