For a classical example, the first thing that comes to mind is Grieg's Peer Gynt. The credits music for The Man From UNCLE uses a phrygian dominant scale (fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale, sounds super middle-eastern and fancy), but it sounded completely different than I was used to because the chord progression was different than what you normally see with that scale. I find cool stuff like this all the time when I'm listening. It's like a long, drawn-out version of the chord changes themselves. Then for the prechorus, it works up a bit and I think the minor third is in there somewhere, and eventually the major third shows up in the chorus. The melody in Rihanna's song helps too because it hangs around the fifth scale degree for the verses, sometimes moving to the fourth or sixth (which is minor, remember). The voice leading is great for those chords. You get the tonic right off the bat and even though it doesn't have the third, it's implied that it's minor because of the VI and iv, but then you hit the I and it's just super slick. I'm not positive the first chord was just an open fifth, but that's what I used when I was playing around with it and I liked it. This is even reflected in the chords: I5(no 3) - VI - iv - I. It uses a minor scale, but the third scale degree is switched to major a lot, and it just sounds awesome. As I was listening to it, I just thought it sounded great so I listened closer to decide what scale was being used (since it was mainly the sound that I thought was cool), and once I had that down I went upstairs and played around with it for a while.
It's got a really cool sound, if you don't know it, check it out. We watched Star Trek Beyond a few weeks ago, and the song "Sledgehammer" by Rihanna is used in the credits. When I hear something unusual, I take a second and decide what it was and then get excited if it's something interesting. It's fun listening to something and knowing what it is. much of popular music) I've gotten to the point where I just kind of know unconsciously what is going on in it (in terms of chords and melody solfege), and that makes me so happy. Since I started developing my ear and learning about theory back in high school, a whole new world has kind of opened up for me.
