"Like to Get to Know You Well" is a song by the English musician Howard Jones released as a single in 1984. It reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, and was subsequently included on his remix album The 12" Album. It was later included as a bonus track on CD versions of Jones' second studio album, Dream Into Action (1985).
The sleeve carried the motto "Dedicated to the original spirit of the Olympic Games" as the single was released at the start of the 1984 Summer Olympics. The extended version, subtitled "International Remix", featured Jones singing in English, German and French.
"Like To Get To Know You Well" was featured on the soundtrack to the John Cusack movie Better Off Dead.
Two different videos were made. The first featured Jones walking around the streets of London greeting members of the public, accompanied by his bandmates of the time. When the single was released in the US, a new animated video was produced for that market.
