Jacobs wrote a wide variety of lampoons and spoof, but was best known as a versifier who contributed parodies of famous song lyrics and poems. In 2009, Jacobs described himself as \"the least-known writer of hysterical light verse in the United States.\" In 2021, musical parodist \"Weird Al\" Yankovic told the Washington Post, \u201CI absolutely devoured every issue [of Mad], and Frank Jacobs was a big reason for that obsession. I can\u2019t swear that Frank\u2019s work was my first-ever exposure to the art form of parody, but it was definitely the first time I had seen the craft approached with that much skill, wit and attention to detail. Frank laid out the template for me \u2014 he irrevocably changed my DNA.\u201D Jacobs appeared in the sixth chapter of PBS' comedy documentary, Make 'em Laugh: The Funny Business of America singing \"Blue Cross\", his own 1961 parody of Irving Berlin's \"Blue Skies\". That lyric was one of 25 that were the subject of Berlin v. E.C. Publications, Inc., a precedent-setting case that was appealed to the Supreme Court and helped to define the boundaries of parody in American law."@en . "Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S."@en . . . . .
