Okay, so here's the full list, with missing answers highlighted:

1. He thought he was the only one Lonely Boy (Bilbo1967), Andrew Gold

2. But I do - Good Girls Don't (Hamlet53), The Knack

3. His cheap wife had never left town Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia (Stitchawl), Vicki Lawrence

4. He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh - Mr. Bojangles (Stitchawl), Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (issybird)

5. It worries me to say, I've never felt this way - I Think I Love You (issybird), Partridge Family (issybird)

6. The rain was unstoppable - Running Down a Dream (Stitchawl), Tom Petty (issybird)

7. Tryin' to make a devil out of me - Black Magic Woman (Sneaky), Santana (Hamlet53)

8. Let some air into this room - Mama Told Me (Not to Come) (Hamlet53), Three Dog Night (Hamlet53)

9. Love isn't always on time - Hold the Line (Bilbo1967), Toto (Bilbo1967)

10. Hang myself when I get enough rope - White Punks On Dope (Hamlet53), The Tubes (Hamlet53)

11. They wouldn't have you in the Ma Fi A - Why Can't We Be Friends (Hamlet53), War
(Daithi)

12. Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere - Golden Years (Hamlet53), David Bowie (Hamlet53)

That means Hamlet53 is up, with 9 correct answers.

So I would like to try a two stage, multi-answer second state stage quiz. The list of world cities below share a common connection. The quiz is to guess the correct connection, keep that guess to yourself, and list additional cities that share the connection. One point for each correct city listed. As the list of cities grows the common connection should become easier to guess. Maybe this won't work, but I'd like to give it a try. To be clear list only cities, no explanation of why each city was named.

Benares
Brindisi
London
Omaha
Shanghai
