Child care centres usually have a musical mobile suspended over the change table to distract them and it seems to work.
If they get too messy and you have two adults handy, you just strip off and hop in the shower with them. Lots of lovely skin-to-skin contact immediately even if they are covered in poo and vomit, they find it very soothing and relaxing (at least mine all did) and when they're clean you get the dry adult to bundle them up in a towel and dress them.
