What is the background music from in Katy Perry's new song Dark Horse?
The first time I heard Katy Perry's new song, Dark Horse, I thought she was sampling another song but I can't figure it out! Help! The background music that sounds so familiar starts at about 15 seconds into the song. It almost reminds me of a show from the 90's or something. Maybe I'm just imagining it. If anyone else knows what I'm talking about, please help! I've been searching for a song that probably doesn't even exist for the last 3 days now! :)
Here's the youtube link to the song:

Kyle, I'm the one you answered about gay life being miserable. I liked what you had to say, so I checked out your profile and saw this link. It's really amazing. I never really liked Katy Perrys, cuz I thought she was a bit over the top.... but this video really is inspiring! Man, you've been a firework for me tonight, and I don't even know you! You're awesome! Keep it up!

I was thinking what is that other "sampling" sounding so familiar to me, and now I FINALLY figured it out. It's from that Requiem For A Dream theme song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiNvk4xizc0 Now I can sleep :D

at the 1:10min, the melody on that one is just faster than the one in "dark horse"

I have no doubt that the song sounds familiar to you (musicians often copy the elements of other songs), but there is no other song "sampled" on Dark Horse.
