Capp also lampooned popular recording idols of the day, such as Elvis Presley (" Hawg McCall ," 1957 ), Liberace (" Loverboynik ," 1956 ), the Beatles (" the Beasties ," 1964 )— and in 1944, Frank Sinatra.
" Sinatra was the first great public figure I ever wrote about ," Capp once said.
" I called him ' Hal Fascinatra.
' I remember my news syndicate was so worried about what his reaction might be, and we were all surprised when he telephoned and told me how thrilled he was with it.
He always made it a point to send me champagne whenever he happened to see me in a restaurant ..." ( from Frank Sinatra, My Father by Nancy Sinatra, 1985 ).
On the other hand Liberace was " cut to the quick " over Loverboynik, according to Capp, and even threatened legal action — as would Joan Baez later, over " Joanie Phoanie " in 1967.
