If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

Use big intervals, leap in pitch. Give it lots of big bends. Play off-beat. It doesn't matter if it surprises even you, surprise can be part of inspiration. Mix up your speed. Repeat sequences of notes with minor modifications in say the timing or the identity of some notes. The structure doesn't have to be set in stone and mathematically rigid. Better to be a bit eccentric I think.
