President Obama said Wednesday the U.S. is re-establishing relations with Cuba, which reminded Dave of his song, “Come to Cuba.”

Take a listen:

Obama declared an end to America’s “outdated approach” to the communist island in a historic shift aimed at ending a half-century of Cold War enmity.

“Isolation has not worked,” Obama said in remarks from the White House. “It’s time for a new approach.”
