What to do with such a simple heavy-metal riff?

Set it to lyrics about the abhorrent behavior of one of the band members. Then give him space for an amazing solo.

His name is Stevie Vai
And he's a crazy guy
Last November, I recall
He needed a spanking

He decided then
A female specimen
Would be exciting for a night
To give him a spanking

Laurel was her name
She came to Notre Dame
He told me just the other night
He oughta be thanking
Her for the spanking

She was large and soft
And she beat him off
Made him drool upon his dork
And gave it a wanking
After the spanking

Hair brush!
(Ah ... a hair brush!)
Oh! What a hair brush!
(Hey, Frank, it's a hair brush!)
(It's not that he requires grooming!
(Honey ... Wah! Splash!)
Guys with light blue hair never did!)

Then did she exclaim:
"There's another game
That we can play with this device,
And then a banana"

It was slightly green
Vapors in between
Rising up to fill the room
And cook the banana

She said it was dry
"Stevie won't you try
To drool a little drool on it
And grease the banana"

Later in the dawn
Laurel carried on
She got right up and dressed herself and
Ate the banana
