Brenda Song Thinks 'London Tipton Was Right' About This Iconic “Suite Life of Zack & Cody” Phrase

Brenda Song completely agrees with her Suite Life of Zack & Cody character, London Tipton.

At a press junket to promote her latest film The Last Showgirl, the Disney alumna, 36, told MTV that fans quote a specific moment from the show to her “all the time, randomly, everywhere”: the famous “PRNDL” scene.

“In that moment, you just don’t realize what you’re doing. But also, why isn’t it called the PRNDL? Why do they call it the gearshift?” Song asked.

“It should be called the PRNDL. London Tipton was right,” she affirmed.

In the popular Disney Channel series, Song played London Tipton, an airheaded heiress to a hotel empire. When hotel manager Mr. Moseby (played by Phill Lewis) attempts to teach London how to drive, the pair have a hilarious exchange in which London coined a lasting misnomer.

“Are you familiar with the gearshift?” asks Mr. Moseby.

“You mean … the PRNDL?” London answers smugly, referring to the letters next to the lever. After a frustrated Moseby yells at her, London tells him, “You’re making me nervous with all this technical talk!' "

“Oh, I’m sorry,” he apologizes sarcastically. “Why don’t we just relax, or turn on the radio? Would you like AM or FMM?”

Following her stint on Suite Life and its sequel series, Song has starred in the sitcom Dads, the medical drama Pure Genius and the comedy series Dollface. Most recently, The Social Network actress appeared opposite Pamela Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis in The Last Showgirl, directed by Gia Coppola.

The drama follows Anderson, 57, as Shelly Gardner, a showgirl of 30 years who faces an uncertain future after her longtime revue is set to close. Song portrays Mary-Anne, one of Shelly’s fellow performers, alongside Kiernan Shipka.

Of the role, Song told Entertainment Tonight, “Who doesn’t want to be a showgirl, first of all? And who doesn’t want to wear Bob Mackie?"

But Song nearly stepped away from acting after having two sons, Dakota, 3, and Carson, 2 — whom she shares with her partner of seven years, Macaulay Culkin.

"Once I stepped into motherhood, it made me question a lot: my place in this industry, my place as a woman, ageism in this industry, society's pressures of what beauty is, what being young is,” Song said to Bustle.

She continued, “My priority is my children, so I can't just uproot my life and go live in Bulgaria for nine months to shoot a movie. I was like, 'Does acting still fit in my life?' "

With Culkin’s help, she found a balance between motherhood and career.

“I've always said to be the best parent, the best partner, I have to be the best me. And a huge part of this is work. I have to be able to honor that,” she explained.
