Flying ribbon with realistic flutter

Hi,
I'm creating an animation where a ribbon follows a path round and round then drops to the ground. I've already experimented with this and got decent result attaching the ribbon mesh to a path and then having it deform as it moves, i then take the final position of the ribbon from this animation, duplicate the mesh and apply nCloth to allow gravity to do its thing.

What i need is to add a subtle flutter to the ribbon as it spirals, as you'd expect from a light material.

I'm not very experienced with animating in Maya so speak slowly! user added image

Any help would be great, thanks
