You might check out a program called Max/MSP if you want to get really deep into this stuff. It handles conversions between MIDI and audio signal pretty elegantly. Other ideas..
You might try making notes that change pitch continuously
You might try putting the breaks in parts of the music where we expect it to continue.
MIDI “doo” or other synth voice instruments tend to sound pretty maddening on their own without much special effort. Maybe layer in helicopter sounds or applause to simulate breathiness?

The FluidSynth sound fonts are quite nice within their instruments’ usual range, but do try going up or down a bit far for great lulz.
Just out of curiosity, what’s your set-up (MIDI controller, software, etc)? I have an old Oxygen 8, Ableton Live 8, and some VSTs. My music sucks.
LMMS, a cheap’n’cheerful open source knockoff of FruityLoops. It’s basically a toy (e.g., it has no undo. Seriously). But fun.
