The line, which Song delivers in her iconic role as London Tipton in the hit Disney Channel series, has gone viral in recent days. The clip features London referring to the car's gearshift as the PRNDL.

Recently, Song opened up about the memorable scene in an interview and said that she still continues to get comments about the line.

\"In that moment, you just don't realize what you're doing,\" she said. \"But also, why isn't it called the PRNDL? Why do they call it the gearshift?\"
