This or something similar is what I've heard used over choruses of IV I II V I chord progression.
I should think it would be something of interest because there are 1,000's of songs with this progression.
Even the chorus "Your Cheatin' Heart" 
"down like falling rain . . . .

| Nice, you could get away with that as long as it didn't clash with the vocal line. Among the 1000 songs is Satin Doll. Duke, Hank, it's all music. |

It fits in all. You have to phrase it. I just presented the cold hard facts!! Here is pretty much the best example:

“Crazy†comes to mind. Substitute F#dim for F7 in your example.
The bridge on George Strait’s “You’re Something Special To Me†is a variant of the IV-I-II-V progression that keeps the b7 sound away from the I chord, which sounds better to me. The addition of the VI chord preceding the II, and the way it is approached, adds to the cool loungey swing vibe. Starts at about 1:00.

The idea was to have a chromatic sequence of notes continuing through out a selected chord progression. I leave the nuances to the player!
Here is Bo playing the phrase on the Steel and on guitar at the same gig!

I think the idea originated by combining Old cliche runs into a chord progress.
I hear this a lot within progressions
