In jazz it's considered acceptable and honorable to steal cool 'changes' (chord patterns). There are a number of jazz tunes based on the changes in "I've Got Rhythm". That chord pattern is known as the "rhythm changes".

That's the most popular one, but there are others. "Doxy" and "Things are Getting Better" have the same changes, for instance.

Other shorter bits like ii-V-I and I-VI-ii-V are so common that they are used as drills.
