Lydian and Dorian

General Question

Are there songs that use both Lydian, and its relative minor, Dorian?

I'm looking to study this relationship, but I'm having a hard time finding examples. I was expecting to find something like Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts. A very simple melody that only changes because of the context of the chords, shifting it from Major to Minor.

There's no shortage of Lydian OR Dorian, Anyone know of songs that use both?

Thanks!
