1) Enter the entire chordset for a song that you really like. No Melody.

2) Pick a style. Works best to pick a style that is different from the style of that original song, but not always necessary to do so.

3) Play that over and over and "find" a new melody that will fit the chord changes. Sing it, whistle it, or play that new melody you've come up with on your instrument over the changes to that popular song.

There are numerous examples of this throughout the history of the popular song, as well as in the classics.

It can be amazing how well a known tune "hides" from you in this fashion. That is yet another proof that we define the Melody as the song.
