If you want slightly less typical tapping, more like Greg Howe, I've submitted a couple of tricks in his style..

Looks good. How about a sound file?

Hithere, this might help: I've posted lots of stuff about tapping. In general I have thyis to say:
Most tapping you hear is very easy, it simplifies matters because you don't have to stretch your left hand/move position to get the high notes (which are usually taken by the right hand). Most players use it like a gimmick but tapping offers a great deal more than that, if you want to get really good then learn to play left-handedly by stringing an old guitar up that way. Then just practice everything you tried to learn right handedly.
Some famous tapping pieces:
Midnight (From Surfing with the Alien By Joe Satriani)
Days at the Beach (From Flying in a Blue Dream By Joe Satriani)
Both tabs can be got from the internet and they aren't as hard as they sound, especially Midnight.

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

I use a Mac so I'm not sure how well this translates to Windows.
For the first year or so, all I used was a shareware recording program called'SoundHandle' I plugged the guitar into my effects pedal, took the output from that and used a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter to plug it into the mic input on the computer. Then I set the audio control panel to record from the mic input and recorded as a .wav file.
After that you convert the .wav file to MP3 using a shareware conversion utility like N2Mp3.
I use Cubase recording software now, but the recording setup is essentially the same.
ie, Guitar to MultiEffects Pedal (with a cabinet simulator)
MultiEffects Pedal to Mixer
Mixer to Mic input (using a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter)
Not sure why you'd be getting distortion except maybe you're trying to use a mic and overloading the input
