Same here, I liked the Ringa Ringa song better than Jai ho. Incidentally, it was inspired from Choli ke peechhe song from Sanjay dutt starrer Khalnayak. This film has got far more than it deserves, IMO it was a masala bollywood kinda film, nothing extraordinary except the fact that it was directed by a hollywood director.A R Rehman has composed so many beautiful songs far better than this,but...

I Liked Jai Ho but like normal time song.. the best of Rahman is still Roja and I am still waiting for that magic.

Regarding Slumdog, It was no doubt an extra ordinary (while we can close eyes and say the world wants to show and see poverty in India) and the main reason is its story which is written by an IAS Mr Vikas Swarup. Addition of Danny Boyle only made the brand value for this value to whole world which is still difficult for Indian directors.
