Anyway, someone mentioned something of different character, and I don't think that that's a bad idea. Also another one to consider is Queen of the Night, by... I can't remember if it's Mozart or someone else, but I think it's Mozart.
One way to cause me pain is to take that piece from Zauberflote (the one that florence Foster Jenkins butchers) and play it. Yes it is mozart but don't do it. Find something in a minor key. Play the Toccata and Fuga in d minor or the Fantasia in G minor BWV 542 (don't do the Fugue). Or if you want something tremendously outrageous, the second movement of Kalevi Aho's contrabassoon concerto (I always crack up dying of laughter).
