Love Hime is a favorite anime of the protagonist of Yowamushi Pedal
(the anime just ended; the manga is still ongoing), an otaku who bikes
90 kilometers round trip to Akiba ever day, and as a result ends up
getting drafted into the school's bicycle club.

The full song Koi no Himehime Petanko is here:

It's a funny parody of the genre with some interesting easter eggs.
It's sung by Tamura Yukari, who has had a MUCH longer career as an
idol seiyuu than I ever expected...

Yowamushi Pedal is my favorite of the shows I've been exposed to.
Others I have been dragged into watching at least a portion of include
Kuroko no Basuke, Yona of the Dawn, and Attack on Titan...the latter
of which I really don't get, despite going through the USJ attraction.
