CES 2017 has come to a close, and looking back, it was a really interesting week. News aside, seeing the entire conference come together is really an impressive thing, with hundreds and hundreds of companies flocking to the middle of the desert to show off thousands of products in demos and keynotes. The whole thing feels perfectly choreographed and planned — almost like a Broadway show, in fact.

So, with that in mind, along with the fact that the phrase “Consumer Electronic Show” fits really nicely with the syllables of “a modern Major-General,” I proudly present a recap of the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show.

CES 2017, The Song

To the tune of “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance

We’re here in Vegas for this year’s Consumer Electronics Show
To see the latest gadgets, gizmos, TVs, toys, and car autos
From crazy thin OLED displays to Bluetooth sharing smart pillows
And drones and headphones with release dates purely theoretical
