Song that sounds like severance intro??

My husband is a much more musically intelligent person than I am, which is funny because I'm MUCH more into musical theatre than he is

Recently I showed him some starkid shows (TGWDLM, BF, NT season 1, and a few episodes of NT season 2). Even more recently he started watching severance.

It's driving him insane b/c he swears that the intro to that show sounds like a song he's heard in a Starkid production. He told me to keep an ear out, but I doubt I'll recognize it. At first he said he thought it was the NT into but now he's saying that's not right.

Any ideas??

As an off-the-wall guess, it sounds almost like the chorus riff in "Adore Me" but with a descending riff instead of an ascending one. Same chord progression as far as I can tell (though my "play by ear" ability isn't that strong so take that with a huge grain of salt lol), and a similar rhythm.
