Actually as far as "spontaneous" goes most Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches leave some room for that in worship. Some Apostolic groups are picking up on this kind of worship and I think its a good thing. By this kind of worship I mean a kind of blending of Charismatic and Contemporary Christian music.
I can only speak for the Oneness Churches I've personally been in but to me the shockamoo thing gets old fast. I like songs that are sang directly to the Lord for worship.
When I saw Kim Walker doing this I felt the glorious spirit of Jesus Christ bringing me to tears. Of course I have felt that once in a while from something "Pentecostal".
Back in the 70's I fellowshipped with a group called The Ceylon Pentecostal Mission. They were like their name implies very strong in Pentecostal doctrine but had heavily Charismatic worship. They sing in tongues a lot! It was very wonderful. I have never experienced greater seasons in worship than those days.
I guess a "dead service" must be in the eye of the beholder.

This is a true statement. More than once I have felt the Holy Spirit in a very powerful way during a litergical Lutheran service.
