Grammar is a finicky thing. The word "like" implies a relationship, and is interchangeable with "such as". If you say "like" after everything you say, quite often it wouldn't fit. For example, take the following sentence.
[sic] "like, I totally like, took like an hour nap!"

If we replace every "like" with "such as", then we can see our errors.

"[such as] I totally [such as] took [such as] and hour nap!"

This would be much more effective.

"I took a nap that was nearly an hour long!"

Is it grammatically correct to say like you and me?

no. you should say like you and i No, this answer is incorrect. The rule has to do with whether it is subject or object, but, put simply, you should just remove the "you and" and see if you could say it. You can't say "like I" - therefore you can't say "like you and I" - It has to be "like you and me." You can say things like "you and I are going to the park" because you can say "I am going to the park" but you wouldn't say "me am going to the park." But you can't say "he is coming to the park with you and I" - using the same principle as above.
